Chapter 97 Encounter at the Village Entrance
Ino slept for a whole day before waking up.
Soon after she woke up, Choji came to see her with a big bag of snacks, followed by Shikamaru, Sakura, Naruto, and finally even the awkward Sasuke came.
Asuma and Kakashi arrived at noon. The Genin entered the maze to compete, which was a test of the future of the two villages. The Jonin also had a similar event, which was to measure the current hard power between the two sides. They were both very busy.
After Kakashi entered the room, he sat casually aside. His face was a little pale, which was obviously a sign of excessive chakra consumption.
"How did you harvest this time?" Asma lit a cigarette and asked bluntly.
Shikamaru held his head in his hands: "The climate inside is very comfortable. It's a good place to cool off from the summer heat."
Choji was also very happy: "The ramen there is delicious. I had a competition with Naruto! In the end, I won!"
Asuma laughed dryly twice and finally looked at Ino.
She said, whether truthfully or falsely, "Well, I did fight with Chojuro and Haku. They were both very strong. I suffered a great loss from Ranmaru's red eyes, otherwise I wouldn't have been beaten like this. Afterwards, I obtained an S-rank water jutsu, probably water jutsu. This jutsu is too difficult, and I can't use it at all now."
She told Asma this more for reporting purposes. Once Asma knew about it, his father, the village chief, would also know about it. Now that the formalities were complete, it could be used in formal occasions next time.
After all, Ino is not Naruto, and she does not have the ability to revive with full health on the spot. Her body is still very weak. Choji left her favorite grilled fish, and then they left together.
Ino took two bites of the grilled fish, then slept for a long time in a daze. Only after waking up did she have the energy to look at her harvest.
Ninjas improve their strength through life-and-death battles. This method is very dangerous, but it is indeed effective.
Since she traveled through time, the battle with the Kirigakure trio was the toughest one she had ever fought.
The fight between life and death allowed her body to tap some of its potential and her strength increased significantly.
"Body" and "strength" each increased a little.
The Steamed Dangerous Explosion contains a lot of ninjutsu knowledge, and her calm response in the battle with the trio, as well as the increased confidence after the battle, made her "virtue" increase a little bit.
The amount of knowledge is also part of "virtue". To put it simply, IQ is innate, but knowledge can be learned. Orochimaru and Tsunade may not have as high an IQ as Shikamaru, but their "virtue" is 10 because they are knowledgeable.
Ino frequently used water jutsu during the battle, and her water jutsu level, which had already shown signs of a breakthrough, was successfully raised to level 4.
Now her attributes are Ninja 9, Body 4, Illusion 4, Wisdom 7, Strength 3, Speed 6, Precision 8, Seal 6, and the total attributes are 47.
In terms of escape techniques, they are water escape lv4, earth escape lv2, wind escape lv2, and yin escape lv3.
By putting the blame on Kakashi, she gained two points. She planned to save two more and then directly increase her "Ninja" to 10.
Qing and Gonbei never asked about Konoha's gains, but just reiterated that ninjutsu must not be passed on without the consent of Kirigakure. Asuma agreed on behalf of Ino.
Ino had been lying in bed for three days, but she couldn't sit still, so she dragged Sakura out shopping and bought her a lot of gifts.
She argued that this coat was for Haiyi, this scarf was for Rino, and she also prepared gifts for Iruka-sensei, Moeka, and even the gatekeeper Gang Zitie.
Sakura was only buying things for herself at first, but later, seeing how filial she was, she also bought some gifts.
After receiving the news, Shikamaru covered his head and didn't have the strength to speak.
My goodness, you are so injured, and you are still thinking about rolling us up?
You, a seriously injured soldier, bought a lot of gifts for your relatives and friends, but we are going to go back empty-handed? Wouldn't we be hung up and beaten? No problem, buy them!
Shikamaru and Choji also joined in the shopping.
In the end, even Asuma felt guilty and thought that he couldn't just buy gifts for his girlfriend. He also had to show some appreciation for the village chief's father and his eldest nephew, Konohamaru. He bought a pipe for the village chief's father and a ninja sword that was very characteristic of the Hidden Mist Village and was well-made for his eldest nephew.
Kakashi, Naruto and Sasuke, who had no friends, no wife, no son, no daughter, no father, and no mother, were so shocked that they vomited blood. Thank you for reminding us that our family members are all dead, so we don’t need to buy gifts! After about a week, the matter was done, and the two villages had a basic cooperation intention, so the people from Konoha Village prepared to go back.
What should come next is cooperation between the Land of Fire and the Land of Water. Only after the financial backers of both sides cooperate can the two ninja villages establish further mutual trust.
The master originally thought that there would be some obstacles from the Water Kingdom, but he did not expect that the proposal would be approved as soon as it was submitted.
Although he felt it was a bit strange, the daimyo agreed and he couldn't think of any reason to object.
When they came, they took a long detour and took the southern route. In addition, they had to guard Kurocho Raiga and Zabuza, so they walked for more than half a month. When they went back, they followed the trade route of the Water Country and reached the Wave Country in more than ten days.
Naruto inspected the "Naruto Bridge" named after him like a leader. At this time, only the piers had been built and there was not even a shadow of the bridge yet, but he was still very happy and talked nonstop all the way.
Mito Kado En is going to the capital of the Land of Fire to report to the Daimyo, while Team 7 and Team 10 return to Konoha Village first.
"Hey, thank you for your hard work." Kanzuki Izumo and Gang Zitie, who were guarding the gate, greeted Class 7 and Class 10 with a smile.
Compared to Team 7, which has different personalities and whose entire family members die at any time, Team 10, whose family members are intact, has a significantly better relationship with these two door gods.
Ino also took out small gifts for the two of them. They were specialties from the Land of Water and the Land of Waves. They were not worth much, but they showed respect.
"Lao Tie" was well-informed and had already known the news that Ino had beaten up the younger generation of the Hidden Mist Village. He smiled and made a few jokes.
Their two classes quickly completed the registration for entering the village.
"Well, you guys just disperse where you are. Asuma and I will go report to the Hokage." Kakashi paused halfway through his words and looked into the distance.
Ino, Shikamaru, Sasuke and Sakura were all stunned, and then they followed his gaze towards the village entrance.
Three ninjas wearing ANBU masks stood in a triangle and escorted a young woman into the gate.
The woman looked to be in her early twenties, with long black hair, and was wearing an off-the-shoulder top and a fiery red skirt.
The woman looked pale, probably because she was injured.
"Teacher Kakashi, who is that?" Naruto asked bluntly.
Kakashi seemed to have Alzheimer's disease and just answered the question with a casual "hmm".
